Howard Shelley Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra - Herz: Piano Concertos Nos. 1, 7 & 8 (Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto 35) [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Hyperionu2019s Record of the Month for June sees the thirty-fifth release in our award-winning Romantic Piano Concerto series, and three premixe8re recordings of concertos by Henri Herz.rOver the years Herz has had a very bad press, a situation begun through the writings of Robert Schumann and continued ever since, yet in his dayu2014and this was primarily in the early part of his lifeu2014his music outsold all rivals, and his tours, particularly as the first major pianist to visit the USA, brought him huge success. This dichotomy is easily explained: Herz never tried to be a u2018greatu2019 artist, though he was often judged against such criteria; he was an entertainer. Of course the concerto lends itself perfectly to this role and his eight concertos are full of charm, almost operatic melody and scintillating virtuosity, their model is Hummel, though in the later works Herz put less emphasis on virtuosity and more on lyricism. If we can accept that music need not be profound to be enjoyed we should welcome this revival of these works, the pop music of their time.rNeedless to say Howard Shelley, who has made such exceptional recordings of the concertos of Hummel and Moscheles, is just the man for the job. He will follow up this recording with a second disc of Herz next year.
